ONE 36V 110Ah vs THREE 12V 100Ah | Dakota Lithium Trolling Motor Setup
In this video, I break down why I replaced three 12V 100Ah lithium batteries with one 36V 110Ah lithium battery for my trolling motor — and I’m sharing the real pros and cons so you can decide what setup makes sense for your boat.
We cover weight differences, wiring simplicity, space savings, runtime expectations, cost, and the single-battery vs multi-battery tradeoffs anglers don’t always think about.
